Alexa Provides Live Information On NBA Playoff Teams

Sports fans love nothing more than being able to talk about their favorite teams. There is no other feeling like being able to rattle off obscure stats about players and having the person you’re talking to reciprocate. With Amazon Alexa, fans can experience that with new skills coming just before the start of the playoffs.

For fans looking for up-to-date information on playoff teams, Fresh Digital Group has a solution with the new skills on Alexa-enabled Amazon Echo.

Each skill will give users a wide range of information on a selected team, from live feeds to current news and fun facts. Fans will also have immediate access to instant news about a game and statistics. In addition to that, Alexa will be able to answer fun facts and questions about your favorite team. 

Some initial question users will be able to ask Alexa include: “Alexa, who do the Celtics play next?,” “Alexa, what are LeBron’s stats from last night’s game?” and “Alexa, when was Kevin Durant first drafted into the NBA?”
